South of the Border

Shep Fields Miscellaneous South Of The Border SOUTH OF THE BORDER (DOWN MEXICO WAY) Shep Fields/Frank Sinatra (Jimmy Kennedy/Michael Carr) South of the border Down Mexico way That's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play And now as I wander My thoughts ever stray South of the border Down Mexico way She was a picture In old Spanish lace Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face For it was fiesta And we were so gay South of the border Down Mexico way Then she sighed and she whispered "Mañana" Never dreaming that we were parting And I lied as I whispered "Mañana" For our tomorrow never came South of the border I rode back one day There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray The mission bells told me That I mustn't stay South of the border Down Mexico way Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! ------
